Good news 1st: I got the paper done and turned in about 1:15 PM today! And, yes, there is that wonderful glow of the virtue of finishing an incomplete. Onward to a new semester come Wednesday….
I will be taking myself out for dinner and a few quality beers tonight.
Now for the not-so-good news:
Last night I wrote in reference to this week’s carnival that:
Maybe tomorrow I can find/re-find something of someone else’s to
recommend. Along with my own submissions, I have recommended at least
one piece by someone else each week so far. I think I’ll keep that as
a goal. Whether or not I have a piece of my own, I can support the
efforts of others.Everyone dreams of him just as they can
But he’s only a humble Delivery ManElvis Costello and the Impostors – "The Delivery Man" – The Delivery Man
[Wow! That really was a sort of rambling post last night. Oh well, something for everyone.]
Seems the delivery man failed; but not for lack of trying mind you. I just spent the last couple of hours going through Walt’s spreadsheet looking for good writing and blogs new to me. I found quite a bit of the latter and a small amount of the former, but nothing I really cared to recommend. I did add 5 more blogs to my aggregator though.
There are some pieces that I thought about recommending this week, but they are kind of "big kids" already so I figured they can stick up for themselves. Plus, even as much as I liked the posts they didn’t seem exactly focused. Maybe that isn’t exactly it, but they weren’t the best I’ve seen from these folks either. So I took a complete pass this week.
Now for the mediocre news:
I got a parking ticket yesterday morning that I found out about this morning (don’t drive much around here). Not a big deal because it is only a warning. Except I have no idea what I’m being warned about! It says "Violation: Warning Ticket (See Comments)" Except that there are no stinking comments. I guess I’ll be stopping by City Hall tomorrow to see what my potential crime was; cause see, I’ve been parking there, where it is legal, for a year now. Maybe they’re just lonely in the Municipal Collector’s office and are hoping this will drive up foot traffic…? Just call me perplexed.
